Page: 2 of 3
Climate Action Plan Reduction Strategy:
 T-1 Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure – Encourage active transportation options through planning and development of safe active transportation infrastructure and facilities in the City.

BACKGROUND:

On June 22, 2021, the City Council approved a resolution awarding a construction contract to PAL General Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $487,014.55 for Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements, Bid No. 20-03.

The Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements Project involved the installation of pedestrian crossings at 12 locations around La Mesa, primarily near schools and high pedestrian traffic areas. Improvements included the installation of new crosswalks, curb extensions, and striping with various locations receiving flashing pedestrian beacons, for enhanced safety.

During construction, numerous challenges were encountered, including unforeseen project conditions, significant contractor project delays, and incomplete work, resulting in both the assessment of liquidated damages, and the project being taken over by the Contractor’s bonding agency, Argonaut Insurance Company.

Prior to this change order, Administrative Change Order No. 1 was approved in the amount of $5,645.90 to obtain taller signal poles to allow for proper mounting of signage and solar panels.

DISCUSSION:

To address the City requested scope changes, unforeseen field conditions, and assessed liquidated damages, City staff negotiated Change Order No. 2 with both Argonaut Insurance Company and PAL General Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $64,123.03. The following summarizes changes to the contract including adding 33 working days due to weather impacts (rain):

1. Installation of an additional flashing pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Pasadena Avenue, which was not in the original contract. Work included potholing a conflicting AT&T duct bank and adding two additional signal posts at a total cost of $37,161.90. Considered a scope change. (CCO items 1, 3, and 15)

2. The Contractor encountered difficult soil conditions and unsuitable material at various locations, requiring additional equipment and the export of unsuitable material during the auguring of pole footings at a total cost of $65,717.06. Considered an unforeseen condition. (CCO items 2, 4, 6, 7 and 16)

3. Contract item, Video recording of existing conditions, was not performed for a credit of $1,500. Considered to be a contractor error. (CCO item no. 5)

4. Additional asphalt pavement needed above contract amount necessary to complete project scope at a cost of $56,271.28. Considered to be a design error. (CCO item no. 8)

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 11, 2023
Page: 3 of 3

5. Additional sidewalk necessary to complete project scope at a cost of $7,270.29.

Considered to be a design error. (CCO item no. 9)

6. Removal of bid item number 16 from project scope due to plans improperly referencing redundant work in bid item number 15 at a credit of $10,157.50. Considered to be a design error. (CCO item no. 10)

7. Reduction of bid item number 17 as facility adjustments to grade were not necessary at a credit of $4,500. Considered to be a design error. (CCO item no. 11)

8. Reduction of bid item number 20 as contractor misplaced type A-1 pole materials at a credit of $6,140. Considered to be contractor error. (CCO item no. 12)

9. An assessment in liquidated damages in an amount of $80,000 for costs incurred by the City due to project delays and incomplete work. Incorporated damages also included additional contract inspection and management costs in an amount of $25,298. (CCO item no. 14)
Administrative Instruction F-13 requires approval by the City Council for Public Works Construction Change Orders over $25,000. Construction was completed last year and this action finalizes all payments to and claims from the contractor and surety.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing Contract Change Order No. 2 for the Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements Project, Bid No. 20-03, to Argonaut Insurance Company, for $64,123.03 and adding 33 working days to the contract.

Environmental Review:

The project was issued a Categorical Exemption-Exclusion determination according to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act.

BACKGROUND:

On July 13, 2021, City Council approved the issuance of a task order to Infrastructure Engineering Corporation (IEC) for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements Project in the amount of $71,624.

During construction, numerous challenges were encountered, including unforeseen project conditions and contractor delays, requiring additional contract construction management and inspection support.

Prior to this change order, staff issued the following administrative change orders:

1. Administrative Change Order No. 1, in an amount of $16,553, for materials and geotechnical sampling and testing services. This contract change order was considered a design error.

2. Administrative Change Order No. 2, in an amount of $33,090, to provide additional construction management and inspection services due to poor contractor performance. This contract change order was considered a contractor issue.

DISCUSSION:

Due to project delays, additional construction and inspection support was necessary; therefore, staff negotiated Change Order No. 3 with Infrastructure Engineering Corporation in the amount of $25,298.00. To assist with cost recovery for the additional contract construction management and inspection services, the City assessed $80,000 in liquidated damages to the contractor and their bonding insurance agency.

Administrative Instruction F-13 requires approval by the City Council for Public Works Construction Change Orders over $25,000. Construction was completed last year and this action finalizes all payments to and claims from the contractor and surety.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing Contract Change Order No. 3 for the Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements Project, Bid No. 20-03, to Infrastructure Engineering Corporation, for $25,298.00 for additional construction management and inspection support.

Reference: Request for Budget Increase, Construction Management and Insp.

Bid 20-03, Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements
Dear Mr. Throne:

This letter is being provided as a request for an increase in our approved budget for construction management and inspection services on the City of La Mesa’s Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements. In June of 2021 we were requested by the City of La Mesa to provide an estimate to provide construction management and inspection services on the subject project. IEC began providing services in December of 2021 and has provided services continuously since that time.

IEC developed our estimated fee based on documents and information provided to us by the City.

These included project bid specifications and plan set, as well as the contractor’s initial 60 working day construction schedule.

The contractor’s performance on this project has been extremely poor. Issues associated with the contractor’s performance have included poor workmanship, unsafe job site conditions, multiple “no-shows”, and a consistent lack of appropriate resources to efficiently perform the work required. These issues have led to a significant overrun in project schedule and amount of time required by Infrastructure Engineering Corporation’s (IEC) personnel in managing this project. As of approximately May 1st, 2022, IEC’s original budget was exhausted. A subsequent budget increase was issued to address the project overruns in August of 2023 with anticipation of the project completing within a few weeks. As of the writing of this letter the project still hasn’t been completely closed out and the contractor has become insolvent, resulting in the bonding company taking over management of the project.

Mr. Michael Throne June 27th, 2023
Bid 20-03
Understanding that the City would like IEC to continue to assist with inspection and management for the remainder of the project we have prepared an estimate of additional hours we feel are needed in order to cover the current cost overruns as well continue to provide the level of service required to adequately manage this project. These include on-site inspection services as well as continued construction management and labor compliance monitoring services through the remainder of the project.

IEC needs to request the City of La Mesa approve an additional $25,298.00 (Twenty-Five Thousand, Two Hundred and Nintey-Eight Dollars) to our current budget to account for the remaining schedule. The estimated hours and associated personnel included in this request are presented below:
• Construction Manager, Scott Adamson, P.E.

Construction Management, 18 hrs @ $164.00/HR $ 2,952.00 • Senior Construction Observer, Dustin Bender
Field Observation/Inspection, 100 hrs @ $139.00/HR $ 13,900.00 • Constrction Coordinator, Nancy Cambra
Labor Compliance Monitoring, 30 hrs @ $113.00/HR $ 3,390.00 • Signal Inspection $ 5,056.00
STC Traffic Inc.

Total $ 25,298.00
We sincerely appreciate the opportunities to provide this proposal and assist the City with this project. Please contact me at (858) 413-2400 should you have any questions or need further information.

Sincerely,

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: July 11, 2023
SUBJECT: Acceptance and appropriation of the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant for the 2023-2024 Impaired Driving Education and Enforcement Program
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Police Department
SUMMARY:

Issues:

Should the City Council accept and appropriate funds from the 2023-2024 California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant, in the amount of $48,184.73, for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products, for overtime, equipment, and training expenses incurred during the 12-month program? Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept and appropriate funds from the 2023- 2024 California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant, in the amount of $48,184.73, for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products, for overtime, equipment, and training expenses incurred during the 12-month program as outlined in this staff report. The funds will be appropriated in fund 213, Public Safety Grants.

Fiscal Impact:

Participation by the La Mesa Police Department will be limited to paid overtime for police sergeants and officers to instruct or attend Standard Field Sobriety Test training or for specified equipment purchases used in enforcement against drug and alcohol-impaired driving during the 12-month period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date:

Page: 2 of 3
Total costs are not to exceed the final grant award of $48,184.73 and will be reimbursed by billing the California Highway Patrol. With City Council approval, the maximum amount that the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant would reimburse the City of La Mesa would be $48,184.73. The funds will be appropriated to and expended from the Public Safety Grant (213) Fund.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Safe community
BACKGROUND:

The City has seen numbers in several collision categories, noted below, increase or remain consistent over the past years. The California Office of Traffic Safety compiled crash ranking results over several years from 106 cities comparable to La Mesa. In the most recent published data from 2020, La Mesa was ranked 60th in the total number of victims injured or killed in crashes, compared to 65th in 2019 and 61st in 2018. The rest of the 2020 data ranked La Mesa 27th in pedestrian injury collisions, 17th in motorcycle injury collisions, 24th in alcohol-involved injury collisions, and 49th in the overall composite ranking, a combined index aggregating all measured categories.

Alcohol and/or drugs have proven to be a factor in some of our most serious collisions.

In 2021, there were three fatal collisions, including one where the driver was under the influence of a controlled substance. After passing out behind the wheel, the impaired driver drove off the roadway and collided with a building, killing an occupant working inside. In 2022, there were three fatal collisions, all of which were caused by the driver being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

In 2022, 29 out of 184 total collisions involved alcohol or drug impairment and were sent to the District Attorney's Office for prosecution.

To address these issues, the City is requesting funding from the grant to train 26 officers in the application of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and use of Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) devices. Funds will also be used to purchase five more PAS devices to ensure all enforcement vehicles are equipped with a device to use in the field.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the acceptance of this grant and appropriation of the related funds.

At a minimum, personnel using these devices should receive Standardized Field Sobriety Testing training. These personnel are also encouraged to attend Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement and Drug Recognition Evaluator training. Prior to using these devices, the Grantee agrees to obtain permission from their local prosecutor’s office, establish a policy ensuring appropriate use, and require the staff using these devices to receive appropriate training, which may include training from the manufacturer. This will help ensure the equipment is used appropriately. The Grantee shall advise the State (California Highway Patrol, Impaired Driving Section, Cannabis Grants Unit) of any legal challenges or other items of significance that may affect the use or legal acceptance of these devices.

Additionally, the State may request additional information about the performance of these devices, including information about their use, accuracy, and feedback from personnel using the devices.
b. Law Enforcement Vehicles – The Grantee agrees any law enforcement vehicles purchased with Grant funds, from this Grant Agreement, will be primarily used for the enforcement of driving under the influence laws and/or providing public education, related to the dangers of driving under the influence. Additionally, any vehicle purchased using funds from this Grant Agreement shall comply with all California Vehicle Code and California Code of Regulation requirements. The State may require the Grantee to mark these vehicles with a decal and/or emblem, indicating the vehicle is used for driving under the influence enforcement.

Project Description
The City of La Mesa consistently ranks high for total number of injury collisions and impaired driving related collisions per O.T.S. data. Additional funds will be used to conduct in-service training for Patrol Officers and Detectives in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Preliminary Alcohol Screening Device (PAS).

Lastly, funds are being requested to purchase additional PAS devices to equip vehicles in the field with at least one device. Additional (26) Officers and Detectives being trained by two of our instructors in SFST’s will give them the confidence and ability to participate in DUI enforcement. A PAS device in every vehicle will allow Officers and Detectives the ability to complete thorough DUI investigations during enforcement.

Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The City of La Mesa has seen numbers in several collision categories increase or remain consistent over the past several years. Based on O.T.S. Crash Ranking Results, the City of La Mesa is banded in the ‘C’ Group based on population. In 2020, La Mesa was ranked 60/106, in 2019 La Mesa was ranked 65/105 and in 2018 La Mesa was ranked 61/102 for total number of victims injured or killed in crashes. In 2020, La Mesa was #27 for pedestrian injury collisions, #17 for motorcycle injury collisions, #24 for alcohol involved injury collisions, and #49 for composite ranking. More recent crash data from O.T.S. has not been made available yet.

The neighboring city near our northern border is Santee, which is similar in size with 16.7 square miles with a similar population at 57,000. In 2019, Santee was ranked 104/105 in the Composite ranking for C group cities with only 27 total injury collisions compared to La Mesa’s Composite ranking of 41/105.

Alcohol and/or drugs have also proven to be a factor in many of our serious collisions. In 2021 there was three (3) fatal collisions which included one (1) fatal collision where the driver was under the influence and subject to prosecution for DUI drugs and vehicular manslaughter. The driver after passing out behind the wheel drove off the roadway and collided with a building. The building was occupied by a business owner. The business owner was killed because of the collision. The driver / suspect was found to be under the influence of numerous drugs. In 2022, there were three (3) fatal collisions, all three of which were caused by the driver being under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

We have found that impairment was the primary factor and numerous cases have been forwarded to the District Attorney for prosecution. In 2022, there were a total of 184 collisions. Of the 184 collisions, 29 involved alcohol or drug impairment.

To address these issues, the City of La Mesa is requesting funding to train (26) Officers and Detectives in the application of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and use of the Preliminary Alcohol Screening device by two of our instructors. Lastly, we are requesting additional funds to purchase five (5) more PAS devices to ensure all enforcement vehicles contain a device to use in the field.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work
A quarterly performance report will be completed upon receipt of the purchased operational police vehicle.

Ongoing quarterly performance reports will be submitted for future quarters in which the vehicle is used.

These reports will show the number of shifts the vehicle is used and the number of times the vehicle is used during special enforcement events.

Schedule A
The objective of training more Officers and Detectives in SFST’s and the PAS device is to increase education and enforcement related to DUI Investigations. In 2018 La Mesa had 138 DUI arrests and ranked 64/102 in O.T.S. In 2019 La Mesa had 131 DUI arrests and ranked 69/105. In 2020 La Mesa had 85 DUI arrests and ranked 58/106. This steady decline in DUI arrests is associated with a lack of training newer officers in SFST’s and the PAS device. Once additional training is completed, the objective is to see overall DUI arrests increase in the grant-year. Specifically, the quantitative goal for this training is to increase DUI arrests by at least 10%, to 64 or more, during the grant year.

The SFST/PAS training would be hosted at LMPD in an (8) eight hour classroom style course to include PowerPoint, discussion and practical activities. The SFST/PAS training would be conducted by two (2) La Mesa PD SFST/PAS Instructors. The curriculum would include general DUI/DUID deterrence, DUI/DUID detection phases, clues, and techniques, DUI/DUID case investigation requirements. The PAS administration instruction portion would include PAS use in the field, courtroom testimony, and case law related to the PAS use. The specific goal is to train (26) twenty-six La Mesa PD Officers in SFST/PAS during the grant-year.

In 2022, the City of La Mesa had 29 total DUI related collisions. The specific quantitative goal for these enforcement actions is to reduce that total by at least 10%, to 26 or fewer, during the grant-year.

Project Performance Evaluation
Statistics documenting the enforcement actions taken during the enforcement details and shifts where the DUI vehicle was used will be reported. To incorporate community stakeholders, the La Mesa Police Department will engage with existing community organizational contacts, such as contacts with MADD, and ask them to join us to help educate the public during enforcement details. MADD usually can provide informational pamphlets that can be given to drivers by MADD volunteers during DUI Checkpoints or DUI saturation patrols.

Program Sustainability
The funds for this grant period will be used during the grant fiscal year 2023-2024. When collision data is made available, the effectiveness of the enforcement details can be measured against prior data from prior years to determine the overall impact this program had.

Once there is no longer a need to conduct enforcement details, the request for grant funding for enforcement details will not me made.

Administrative Support
The City of La Mesa has used several grants in the past for a variety of projects. Our fiscal team is trained on submitting requests for payment and funds through various grant platforms. Our sworn staff in charge of the grant have attended grant workshops, including the implementation workshop for this grant.

The O.T.S. STEP grant is like this grant in that funds are used to conduct enforcement details The Traffic Sergeant currently manages both this grant and the O.T.S. STEP grant. Our city has used the O.T.S. STEP grant for several consecutive years and has not had any funding revoked. We have a history of successfully meeting grant criteria and benchmarks, submitting quarterly performance reports thoroughly and in a timely manner, and being approved for additional grant funding during subsequent grant fiscal years.

To operate the details themselves, we have a history of completing these details with sufficient staffing.

Generally, officers from with the Traffic Unit, Patrol Division and the Services Division can work these details and provide adequate staffing. All of our DUI Checkpoints and DUI Saturation enforcement details have had sufficient staffing over the previous grant periods.
